Conselho Branco, Sociedade Tolkien ("The White Council, Tolkien Society") is a Brazilian Tolkien Society. It was founded on September 7, 2000 in São Paulo as Sociedade de Tolkien Brasileira (STB). However, as another association, The Brazilian Tolkien Society (BTS), was founded in December in the same year and claimed the rights to their name, STB quickly changed its name to Conselho Branco.[1]
